Capturing the landscape at Mandalpatti using Canon 7D

While we were in Madikeri in August this year, we heard one of the local guys mention Mandalpattias a very beautiful place and situated about twenty kms away from our homestay ( COORG ). I had never heard of this place but decided to google it. Looking at the images we made a quick decision to visit this place where only a four wheel drive can take the tourists across on the steep slopes.

The place is a visual treat for artists, photographers and every other person who loves to be part of nature. I could see all possible shades of green in the grassland which covered the hills like a soft blanket.

Apart from the spectacular views from the hills of Mandalpatti, the winding roads from Madikeri to Mandalpatti itself was a pleasure.

to capture the stunning views all around.

Mandalpatti hills allow you to have a 360 degree view of the hills around. Fortunately the place has not been too commercialised and there are no hotels or homestays in the vicinity. The area is clean and well maintained. Mandalpatti is part of Pushpagiri wildlife sanctuary.

If you wish to visit this place ever read some of the reviews intripadvisor.

ABOUT ME

Passionate about ART since childhood. Graduated in science and later in life took to brushes and pencils, drawing and painting different subjects in a realistic way. My love for travelling and being in different beautiful places inspired me further to capture the beauty of nature on paper and canvas. Created this blog to share my love of art, my experiments with different mediums and to get in touch with people who think, breathe and live art just the way I do.

It was my DREAM to draw, sketch and paint and I AM LIVING MY DREAM by painting almost every day of my life.
